Samuel Merritt ABSN Spring 2011

Published

Starting a new thread for the Spring 2011 SMU applicants for the Sacramento Campus and all others as well.

Post your stats, any other important information you might have heard about the applicants, questions, concerns, anything!!

My stats:

Already been in nursing school- Dropped OUT- UGH, why????? *I digress...

*Received a degree from Sac State already, Cum Laude

Science G.P.A.= 3.4

Overall G.P.A. = 3.5

Teas= 84.1

1 year of healthcare experience

1 year of nursing school experience

Multiple community involvement experiences- ERG's, Volunteer on Diversity teams, Church, internships, mentoring, tutoring

*Hoping that this may be the year because I'm going no where fast in my current job field and I want to return to a profession that I have a passion for and am good at!!

=)

for those who got calls, are you talking about the Sacramento cohort? I am still waiting to hear from San Mateo.

Have any waitlist calls gone out yet? I wouldn't count yourself out 'til the fat lady sings, as they say.

Does anyone know when Orientation is?

Le.John.33 - I got into the Sacramento cohort. I'm not sure if San Mateo calls are going out yet, but best of luck to you!

I am wondering the same thing. Has anyone been offered a spot on the ABSN waitlist for Sac yet? I am in the same boat as ckrs.

P.S. MalRey, my last name starts with "R" too. I'm praaaaaaaaaaaaying they are calling in alphetic order, though I know that is likely not the case. :icon_roll

My last name starts with C and I received a call on Monday, so maybe they are doing alphabetical order.

I just sent in my deposit and faxed my letter of intent!

yay!

GL & keep the faith

I just talked to the San Mateo admissions counselor and she said that the earliest we will hear is October 15th about the SM - January cohort :) Only a little over a week!!!!

For those of you who applied for admision to the ABSN program in Sac and haven't recieved a call like myself, I have an update:

I just received an email response from Sac at 2:30 saying "still making calls and haven't contacted WL (waitlist) people yet".

So let's all take a deep breath, hope for the best and know we are not out of the running just yet. :-)

Thank you for the update! Really glad we don't have to wait all the way until November to hear from them. I hope I get in as this is my 2nd time applying. The timing would be perfect too

Hi ! Thanks everyone for ur emotional support but whosoever received calls so far can u tell us that how many times u guys applied may be they are giving priority to reapplicants!

@ckrs- this is actually my first time applying to samuel merritt, but i've applied to hmmm, lets see:

sfsu

sac city

sac state

Victory925,

Do you know off hand when the other schools notify students of acceptance, etc? just curious if SMU is the eariliest.

Hi everyone! I'm a graduate of SMU-Sac. I see how lots of you are anxiously waiting to hear back. I don't know if this will give any of you some more hope, but I was wait-listed when I applied (some professor was late w/the recommendation). I was so anxious and had given up hope, but literally 5 days before Orientation, I got the call that I was accepted. So that was already in Nov. There is hope. ------ had told me (cuz I was frequently calling her) that one year they had called people the literal first day of class to tell them someone had dropped and they could join.

cerobbin-

Yes, Sacramento SMU is the earliest I've had... Idk the exact dates of others... because I always got denial letters in the mail or via email...
